A. Lange & Söhne’s Lange Zeitwerk Watch

Registered users of Timezone.com recently gave the Lange Zeitwork the distinctive honor of being the 2009 Watch of the Year. This watch has been garnering awards left, right and center including 2nd place for “Watches over 25.000 Euro” in Germany’s “Goldene Unruh” awards, as well as the Good Design Award.

So, what makes the Lange Zeitwerk special? Firstly, it’s said to be the first mechanical wristwatch with a jumping numeral display. This new concept means that instead of using hands to tell the hour and minute we get revolving numbers. It’s almost like a classic take on the digital watch and one where you don’t need to change the batteries too.

If you’re looking for a timepiece that incorporates both classic and modern details then the Lange Zeitwerk might just be for you.
